  • Leather stacked heels
  • Rubber & combination heels
  • Pin-dowel lifts
  • Tip replacements

Full & half-sole work

Sole Repair

A quality sole repair can add years to a great pair of shoes. We do full and half-sole replacements in leather, rubber, and combination materials. We also apply protective rubber plates to the toe and heel to prevent wear before it starts.

  • Half soles — leather & heels
  • Full soles — leather & heels
  • Rubber protection soles
  • Rubber toe & heel plates

Bring back the luster

Leather Conditioning & Shine

Leather dries out, cracks, and fades — but it doesn't have to stay that way. Our shine and conditioning services range from a quick buff to a full renovation treatment. We also offer salt removal for winter-damaged shoes and waterproofing for year-round protection.

  • Shoe shine (on & off the foot)
  • Cream & spit shine
  • Salt removal
  • Waterproofing
  • Full renovation

Seams that hold

Stitching & Patching

Split uppers, torn seams, and worn-through patches are no match for our stitching work. We repair rips and structural damage with precision stitching that blends into the original construction — so your shoes look whole again.

  • Upper seam repair
  • Rip & tear patching
  • Welt stitching
  • Lining repairs

Orthopedic shoe modification and custom insole work

Comfort & medical needs

Orthopedic Modifications

  • Shoe stretching (width)
  • Custom insole additions
  • Arch support modifications
  • Toe box adjustments

Boot zipper replacement and leather dyeing service

Zippers & color restoration

Zipper & Dyeing

Broken boot zippers and faded leather color are two of the most frustrating problems — and both are fixable. We replace full zippers on boots and bags, and offer professional shoe dyeing to restore or change the color of leather footwear.

  • Full zipper replacement
  • Zipper slider repair
  • Shoe & boot dyeing
  • Color restoration
